Brittany, it is possible that you have a bad hard drive. Try to place your iPod into diagnostics mode and see what you get. To do that, follow [http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml|this guide.] If that does not work, or does not show you anything, place your iPod into disk mode, reformat your drive with your OS. Then plug it in and see if iTunes recognizes your iPod as an iPod that needs to be restore. Do so and see if it syncs your files. Hope this helps, good luck.
